99. Club Law.

_Another way_ of playing Loo is for all the parties to play whenever a
club is turned up as trumps. It is merely another mode of increasing
the pool.

100. Five-Card Loo.

i. In principle it is the same as the other game Loo, only instead
of three, the dealer (having paid his own stake into the pool) gives
five cards to each player, one by one, face downwards.

ii. After five cards have been dealt to each player, another is
turned up for trump; the knave of clubs generally, or sometimes the
knave of the trump suit, as agreed upon, is the highest card, and is
styled Pam; the ace of trumps is next in value, and the rest on
succession, as at Whist. Each player can change all or any of the
five cards dealt, or throw up his hand, and escape being looed.
Those who play their cards, either with or without changing, and do
not gain a trick, are looed. This is also the case with all who have
stood the game, when a flush or flushes occur; and each, except a
player holding pam, of an inferior flush, must pay a stake, to be
given to him who sweeps the board, or divided among the winners at
the ensuing deal, according to the tricks made. For instance, if
every one at dealing stakes half-a-crown, the tricks are entitled to
sixpence a-piece, and whoever is looed must put down half-a-crown,
exclusive of the deal; sometimes it is settled that each person
looed shall pay a sum equal to what happens to be on the table at
the time. Five cards of a suit, or four with pam, make a flush which
sweeps the board, and yields only to a superior flush, or the elder
hand. When the ace of trumps is led, it is usual to say, "_Pam be
civil_;" the holder of which last-mentioned card must then let the
ace pass.

iii. Any player with five cards of a suit (a flush) looes all the
players who stand in the game.

iv. The rules in this game are the same as in Three Card Loo.

101. Put.

The game of Put is played with an entire pack of cards, generally by
two, but sometimes by four persons. At Put the cards have a value
distinct from that in other games. The best card in the pack is a
_trois_, or three; the next a _deuce_, or two; then the ace, king,
queen, knave, ten in rotation. The dealer distributes three cards to
each player, by one at a time; whoever cuts the lowest card has the
deal, and five po
